They could have published an introductory comment, something on the order of: We of the Israeli and peace camp have much to regret about how we treated . . . .<br /><br />Of course, they won't do it. They like to do a vicarious mea culpa for Israel's alleged sins against Arabs, but their real identity, in my opinion, is "The Left" which can never do wrong. Didn't Marx, Lenin and Stalin prove everything scientifically?? So, since we were always scientific, we can do no wrong.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-78307563729005079302014-10-23T23:21:58.653+01:002014-10-23T23:21:58.653+01:00But this is not a 972 article.
It comes from Cafe...But this is not a 972 article.<br /><br />It comes from Cafe-Gibraltar.com, a Hebrew site about "Mizrahi" culture and music. All 972 did is translate the article. <br /><br />Why do they do that? Money.<br /><br />Philanthropies have become more demanding these days and diversity and inclusion has become a major requirement for funding.<br /><br />So what 972, a premier Mizrahi basher particularly under the pen of one of its founders, the despicable Yuval Ben-Ami, is to do?<br /><br />They simply "subcontract" with two Hebrew Mizrahi sites, Cafe-Gibraltar and Haoketz, and from time to time translate one of their articles while holding their nose.<br /><br />Which is why they have the sites' names on their roll as if active contributors. <br /><br />I imagine those sites get a cut, but you never know. <br /><br /><br />In any case, it just occurred to me that one of those contributors (at least) a German, contributes also to "Achoti" and Levana Zamir could have had their funding cut if she had gone straight to the donors for the way the people at Achoti treated her. <br /><br />Something to think about hard and fast.<br />That also explains that those JVP people wanted to include us, "people of color" and "Maseratis".Sylvianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-15264956820123589232014-10-23T17:16:52.457+01:002014-10-23T17:16:52.457+01:00The 'Left' seems totally gripped by anti-...The 'Left' seems totally gripped by anti-colonialism, so much so this warps any idea of justice. This people of colour can get away with murder while white westerners have to say 'Al Het'.<br />The one exception to the rule is the Mizrahim, who despite being people of colour, never get their rights taken seriously by the Left. bataweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829104245735619972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-23513528814985156242014-10-23T17:11:51.333+01:002014-10-23T17:11:51.333+01:00Here I describe what foreign workers endure in Qat...Here I describe what foreign workers endure in Qatar, the oil rich sheikdom that finances Hamas.

So it was precisely the "left," very oriented towards making Israel Western and "progressive" and scorning what they considered Oriental that led to the particular cultures of Oriental Jews being scorned in Israel. This has been true in the educational system, especially the state secular schools that have always been dominated by the "Left" in their curriculum and the values that they tried to impart. <br />I can find dozens of examples of "leftist" intellectuals who enjoy or seem to enjoy scorning Oriental Jewish culture, as in HaArets' Gideon Levy and others.<br /><br />So 972 should be doing mea culpa, <i><b>`al hhet</b></i>, for the "Left" on this issue of deprecating Oriental Jewish culture. But they publish an article which discusses the issue without mentioning the role of the "Left," although citing Zakh [who now lives in Germany], the late Hefer, and Anat Hoffman as negative examples. <br /><br />The reason that I put the word "left" in quotes is that none of them today seems to care about what used to concern the Left so much in the old days. That is the poor exploited workers. Now, it would be hard to find workers worse exploited and oppressed today than the foreign workers in the Arab oil states. But it would be politically incorrect, it seems, to be concerned with those people -- precisely because their exploiters and oppressors are Arabs.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
